RoGeorge:
But I don't want a thanks counter attached in my avatar box.

@Dave, @EEVblog, why are we doing this?  Only a few posts above you wrote attaching the Thanks counter was rejected, yet I see since today the thanks counter is displayed.

Is somebody forcing you to make such changes?

What's all this bullshit about "protecting the beginners"?  Who came with this request?  Where are any links with proof of damage to beginner?

What is happening here?

Well it's Dave's forum and he can jolly well do what the hell he likes.

I admit, I'm not a fan of the thanks counter either, but if Dave wants it, then so be it.

RoGeorge:
If that were to be Dave's wish/idea, I wouldn't argue against, but it is not his, the idea was induced to him.

Dave just wrote showing the thanks counter was not liked and until yesterday, he respected users wish and didn't display that counter before.  Also, all this shitstorm is not coming from a Dave's idea, as written in the OP:

Am particularly sensitive to any attempts of social score, social stratification and alike scores, especially nowadays.  Social tagging is the next nightmare to humanity, and if you didn't noticed it already begun, look, random example from this week:

Later Edit:
------------
I've copy pasted a wrong video from youtube, my bad sorry, the one I meant to copy was this one, about the ESG Score (Environmental, Social, and Governance risk):  https://youtu.be/diVXYzN-X1k 

I don't want to add to social tagging on a place like EEVblog.

As long as total number displayed-yes, perhaps meaningless. I was offering to display thanx number for particular area of expertise, together with total or not.

Can't wait for my "Building projects that blow up multiple times expert" badge  :-DD

But if anyone wants to let others know how much of an expert they are they can just write it down in their forum signature.  :-/O
